South Dakota Association of Healthcare Organizations (SDAHO) President/CEO Tim Rave hosted an informational webinar for SDAHO members on South Dakota’s 7 ballot measures. Citizens will head to the polls on November 5 to cast their vote on a variety of measures including local and statewide issues. “SDAHO is neutral on all this year’s ballot measures, however we still feel it’s important our members understand the issues before voting. This webinar allowed me the opportunity to explain each measure and what a yes or no vote will mean for that specific measure.” Tim Rave, President/CEO, SDAHO
